The 18 Most Suppressed Inventions of All Time

Imagine what our society would be like if
only 1
or 2
of these inventions weren’t suppressed?

Throughout
history there have been countless attempts to discourage new technologies only to protect
other people’s self-interests.
Below are some of the most suppressed inventions ever.

The
Original Electric Car: Unplugged?

Perhaps the
most notorious suppressed invention is the General Motors EV1, subject of the
2006 documentary, Who Killed the Electric Car?
The EV1 was the world’s first mass-produced electric car, with 800 of them up
for lease from GM
in the late ’90s. GM ended the EV1 line in 1999, stating that consumers weren’t
happy with the limited driving range of the car’s batteries, making it
unprofitable to continue production.

Many
skeptics, however, believe GM killed the EV1 under pressure from oil
companies, who stand to lose the most if high-efficiency vehicles conquer the
market. It didn’t help that GM hunted down and destroyed every last EV1,
ensuring the technology would die
out.

BMSS Addendum: While we are
starting to see
some electric cars
come onto the market, their efficiency is long to be desired as most will not
run for very long and would be virtually impossible to use on long trips.
For example, the world’s first car made entirely from hemp
runs on electricity but can
only be driven for 100 miles before it needs to be recharged.

The
Death of the American Streetcar

In 1921, if
the streetcar industry
wasn’t actually naming streetcars Desire, it was certainly desiring more
streetcars. They netted $1 billion, causing General Motors to hemorrhage $65
million in the face of a thriving industry. GM retaliated by buying and closing
hundreds of independent railway companies, boosting the market for gas-guzzling
GM buses and cars. While a recent urban movement to rescue mass transit has
been underway, it is unlikely we’ll ever see streetcars return to their former
glory.

The
99-MPG Car

The holy
grail of automotive technology is the 99-mpg
car. Although the technology has been available for years, automakers have
deliberately withheld it from the U.S. market. In 2000, the New York Times
reported a little-known fact,
at least to most: A diesel-powered dynamo called the Volkswagen Lupo had driven
around the world averaging higher than 99 mpg. The Lupo was sold in Europe from
1998 to 2005 but, once again, automakers prevented it from coming to market;
they claimed Americans had no interest in small, fuel-efficient cars.

BMSS Addendum: We are
starting to see evidence of cars that will now exceed 99 mpg as evidenced in a
recent article entitled, “Volkswagen’s New 300 MPG Car Not Allowed In America“.
For the most part, the major auto
manufacturers are in bed with Big Oil and will continue to suppress the
manufacturing of these cars for as long as they can.

Free
Energy

Nikola Tesla
was more than just the inspiration for a hair metal
band, he was also an undisputed genius. In 1899, he figured out a way to bypass
fossil-fuel-burning power plants
and power lines, proving that “freeenergy”
could be harnessed using ionization in the upper atmosphere to produce
electrical vibrations.
J.P. Morgan, who had been funding Tesla’s research,
had a bit of buyer’s remorse when he realized that free energy for all wasn’t as
profitable as, say, actually charging people for every watt of energy use.
Morgan then drove another nail in free energy’s coffin by chasing away other
investors, ensuring Tesla’s dream
would die.

Miracle
Cancer Cure

In 2001,
Nova Scotian Rick Simpson discovered that a cancerous spot on his skin
disappeared within a few days of applying an essential oil made from marijuana.
Since then, Simpson and others
have treated thousands of cancer
patients with incredible success. Researchers in Spain have confirmed that THC, an
active compound in marijuana, kills brain-tumor
cells
in human subjects and shows promise with breast, pancreatic and livertumors.
The U.S. Food
and Drug
Administration, however, classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, meaning
that it has no accepted medical
use, unlike Schedule
IIdrugs,
like cocaine and methamphetamine, which may provide medical benefits.
What a buzzkill.

Water-Powered
Vehicles

Despite how
silly it sounds, water-fueled
vehicles do exist. The most famous is Stan Meyer’s dune buggy, which achieved
100 miles per gallon and might have become more commonplace had Meyer not
succumbed to a suspicious brain aneurysm at 57. Insiders have loudly claimed
that Meyer was poisoned after he refused to sell his
patents or end his research. Fearing a conspiracy,
his partners have all but gone underground (or should we say underwater?) and
taken his famed water-powered dune buggy with them. We just hope someone
finally brings back
the amphibious car.

Chronovisor

What if you
had a device that could see into the future and revisit the past? And what if
you didn’t need Christopher Lloyd to help you? Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti,
an Italian priest, claimed in the 1960s to have invented what he called a
Chronovisor, something that allowed him to witness Christ’s crucifixion. The
device supposedly enabled viewers to watch any event in human history by tuning
in to remnant vibrations that are caused by every action. (His team of
researchers and builders included Enrico Fermi, who also worked on the first
atomic bomb). On his deathbed, Fermi admitted that he had faked viewings of
ancient Greece and Christ’s demise, but insisted the Chronovisor, which had by
then vanished, still worked. Unsurprisingly, conspiracy theorists say the
Vatican is now the likely owner of the original Chronovisor.

Rife
Devices

American
inventor Royal Rife
(his real name), in 1934, cured
14 “terminal” cancer patients and hundreds of animal cancers by aiming his
“beam ray” at what he called the “cancer virus.”
So why
isn’t the Rife Ray in use today?A 1986 book, The Cancer Cure
That Worked, Fifty Years of Suppression, by Barry Lynes and John Crane, revived
the Rife device affair. The book, written in a style typical of conspiratorial
theorists, cites names, dates, events and places, giving the appearance of
authenticity to a mixture of historical documents and speculations selectively
spun into a web far too complex to permit verification by any thing short of a
army of investigators with unlimited resources. The authors claim that Rife
successfully demonstrated his device’s cancer curing ability in 1934, but that
“all reports describing the cure were censored by the head of the AMA
from the major medical journals.” A 1953 U.S. Senate special investigation
concluded that Fishbein and the AMA had conspired with the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration to suppress various alternative
cancer treatments that conflicted with the AMA’s pre-determined view that
“radium, x-ray therapy
and surgery are the only recognized treatments for cancer.”

Cloudbuster

In 1953, a
drought threatened Maine’s blueberry crop, and several farmers offered to pay
Reich if he could make it rain. The weather bureau had reportedly forecast no
rain for several days when Reich began the experiment at 10 a.m. on July 6,
1953. The Bangor Daily News reported on July 24:

Dr. Reich
and three assistants set up their “rain-making” device off the shore of Grand
Lake. The device, a set of hollow tubes, suspended over a small cylinder,
connected by a cable, conducted a “drawing” operation
for about an hour and ten minutes. According to a reliable source in Ellsworth
the following climatic changes took place in that city on the night of July 6
and the early morning of July 7: “Rain began to fall shortly after ten o’clock
Monday evening, first as a drizzle and then by midnight as a gentle, steady
rain. Rain continued throughout the night, and a rainfall of 0.24
inches was recorded in Ellsworth the following morning.”

A puzzled
witness to the “rain-making” process said: “The queerest looking clouds you
ever saw began to form soon after they got the thing rolling.” And later the
same witness said the scientists were able to change the course of the wind by
manipulation of the device.

The blueberry
crop survived, the farmers declared themselves satisfied, and Reich received
his fee.

Overunity
Generator

A number of
overunity generators, which produce more energy than they take to run, have
surfaced in the past century. Ironically, they have been more trouble than they
were worth. In nearly all cases, a supposedly working prototype has been unable
to make it to commercial production as a result of various corporate or
government forces working against the technology. Recently, the Lutec 1000, an
“electricity amplifier,” has been making steady progress toward a final
commercial version. Will consumers soon be able to buy it, or will it too be
suppressed?

Cold
Fusion

Billions of dollars
have been spent researching how to
create energy using controlled “hot fusion,” a risky and unpredictable line of
experimentation. Meanwhile, garage
scientists and a fringe group of university researchers have been getting
closer to harnessing the power of “cold fusion,” which is much more stable and
controllable, but far less supported by government and foundation money.
In 1989, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons announced that they had made a
breakthrough and had observed cold fusion in a glass jar on their lab bench. To
say the reaction they received was chilly would be an understatement. CBS’s
60 Minutes described how the resulting backlash from the well-funded hot-fusion
crowd sent the researchers underground and overseas, where within a few years
their funding dried up, forcing them to drop their pursuit of clean energy.

Hot
Fusion

Cold fusion
isn’t the only technology to get buried by hot-headed scientists. When two
physicists who were working on the decades-long Tokamak Hot Fusion project at
Los Alamos Laboratory stumbled across a cheaper, safer method of creating
energy from colliding atoms, they were allegedly forced to repudiate their own
discoveries or be fired; the lab feared losing the torrent of government money
for Tokamak. In retaliation, the lead
researchers created the Focus Fusion Society, which raises private money to
fund their research outside of government interference.

Magnetofunk
and Himmelkompass

Nazi
scientists spent much of World War II hidden
in a covert military
base somewhere in the arctic, creating the Magnetofunk. This alleged invention
was designed to deflect the compasses of Allied aircraft that might be
searching for Point 103, as the base was known. The aircraft pilots would think
they were flying in a straight line, but would gradually curve around Point 103
without ever knowing they were deceived. The Himmelkompass allowed German
navigators to orient themselves to the position of the sun,
rather than magnetic
forces, so they could find
Point 103 despite the effects
of the Magnetofunk. According to Wilhelm Landig, a former SS officer, these two
devices were closely guarded secrets
of the Third Reich. So closely guarded were they that neither device apparently
survived the collapse of Hitler’s
Germany, although the real tragedy is that no one has ever named their band
Magnetofunk.

A
Safer Cigarette?

In the
1960s, the Liggett & Myers tobacco
company created a product called the XA, a cigarette in which most of the
stick’s carcinogens had been eliminated. Dr. James Mold,
Liggett’s Research Director, reported in court documents in the case of “The
City and County of San Francisco vs. Phillip Morris, Inc.,” that Phillip Morris
threatened to “clobber” Liggett if they did not adhere to an industry agreement
never to reveal information about the negativehealth
effects of smoking. By advertising a “safer” alternative, they would be
admitting the dangers of tobacco use. The lawsuit was dismissed on a
technicality and Phillip Morris never addressed the accusations. Despite their
own scientists’ publication of research that showed less cancer in mice exposed
to smoke
from the XA, Liggett & Myers issued a press released denying evidence of
cancer in humans as a result of tobacco use, and the XA never saw the light
of day.

TENS

The
Transcutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device was created to
alleviate pain impulses from the body
without the use of drugs. In 1974, Johnson & Johnson bought StimTech, one
of the first companies to sell the machine, and proceeded to starve the TENS
division of money, causing it to flounder. StimTech sued, alleging that Johnson
& Johnson purposely stifled the TENS technology to protect sales of its
flagship drug, Tylenol. Johnson & Johnson responded that the device never
performed as well as was claimed and that it was not profitable. StimTech’s
founders won $170 Million, although the ruling was appealed and overturned on a
technicality. The court’s finding that the corporation suppressed the TENS
device was never overturned.

The
Phoebus Cartel

Phillips, GE
and Osram engaged in a conspiracy from 1924 to 1939 with the goal of
controlling the fledgling light-bulb industry, according to a report published
in Time
magazine six years later. The alleged cartel set prices and suppressed
competing technologies that would have produced longer-lasting and more
efficient light bulbs. By the time the cabal dissolved, the industry-standard
incandescent bulb was established as the dominant source of artificial
light across Europe and North
America. Not until the late 1990s did compact fluorescent bulbs begin to edge
into the worldwide lighting market as an alternative.

The
Coral Castle

How did Ed
Leedskalnin build the massive Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida,
out of giant chunks of coral weighing up to 30 tons each with no heavy
equipment and no outside help? Theories abound, including anti-gravity devices,
magnetic resonance
and alien technology, but the answer may never be known. Leedskalnin died in
1951 without any written plans or clues as to his techniques. The centerpiece
of the castle, which is now a museum open to the public, is
a nine-ton gate that used to move with light pressure from one finger. After
the gate’s bearings wore out in the 1980s, a crew of five took more than two
weeks to fix it, although they never did get it to work as effortlessly
as Leedskalnin’s original masterpiece.

Hemp
Bio-fuel

The father
of the United States, George Washington, who is rumored to have said “I cannot
tell a lie,” was a proud supporter of the hemp seed. Of course, the only thing
more suppressed in this country than an honest politician is hemp, which is
often mistakenly for marijuana and therefore unfairly maligned. Governmental
roadblocks, meanwhile, prevent hemp from becoming the leader in extracting
ethanol, allowing environmentally damaging sources like corn
to take over the ethanol industry. Despite the fact that it requires fewer chemicals,
less water and less processing
to do the same job, hemp
has never caught on. Experts also lay the blame at the feet of (who else?)
Presidential candidates, who kiss up to Iowa corn growers for votes.
